Counting Crows are one of our favorite bands of all time!

Singer Adam Duritz (former member of the Bay Area band The Himalayans) and guitarist Dave Bryson formed Counting Crows in San Francisco in 1991. As well as his experience in The Himalayans, Duritz had contributed to recordings by the Bay Area group Sordid Humor ("Barbarossa"), although he was never a member. Counting Crows began as an acoustic duo, playing gigs in and around Berkeley and San Francisco. Another friend, guitarist David Immerglück played with them from time to time, though he was not an official member of the group, experimenting with other musicians in the area. As the emerging band recorded some demos, and later, as other musicians joined the duo to make a full band, Immerglück recorded with the others on some of the songs on their first album. He declined joining the band at the time, because of his membership in two other locally popular bands; Monks of Doom and Camper Van Beethoven. By 1993, the band had grown to a stable lineup of Duritz as vocalist, occasional pianist and primary songwriter, Bryson on guitar, Matt Malley playing bass guitar, Charlie Gillingham on keyboards and Steve Bowman, as drummer, and the band were regulars in the Bay Area scene.

I love Counting Crows, and I love this song! It's more than just a wonderful homage to the Crows; it stands on its own as a great song with gorgeous lyrics.

I wish I knew the place, so I could relate even more to the lyrics!

Lately I haven't been able to upload more of my singing, but I am singing Rusting to myself now and then - And I intend to upload it as soon as I can!
